"Area 1" from Blaster Master on the Nintendo Entertainment System (1988)
Composer: Naoki Kodaka
Album: No Official Release
Developer: Tokai Engineering
I landed on "Area 1" as the song for today, mainly because of the few times that I have played Blaster Master, I have only had the time and patience to make it through the first area/zone and have only barely touched the second one. There are a number of other very catchy songs from the game too, such as "Area 2," "Area 3," and "Area 6."
With "Area 1" though, I get a very strong Metroid and Mega Man, which is applicable considering the gameplay does seem to take a bit from the exploration of the Metroid series and you do play as a helmet wearing character shooting an energy canon/gun/pistol weapon.
Because this game was developed in the early days of video game soundtracks (and possibly because of the games poor sales), the music from Blaster Master was never officially released, so you will have to settle for rips of the audio. This is also the reason why there is not a classy title for "Area 1" like "Start Blasting" or "Into the Deep." But, if modernizing is more your thing, San Diego, California resident Jessie Bishop has arranged the NES Blaster Master soundtrack, (not the Blaster Master: Blasting Again PSX game, which does have its own soundtrack though).
